Default What rear with V2 Front, Stock sides...

Well i was involved in a hit and run accident about a month ago and i still havent gotten it fixed, its not THAT bad, but i need a new rear bumper. I really like the Chargespeed rear replica that just came about, but I'm getting a Nismo V2 Replica Front and idk how it would flow. I've seen a Z with NismoV2 stock sides and stock rear and it looked good. I plan on keeping the stock sides, but i'd get different ones if i had to. oh and im not lowered... thanks

if you keep the stock sides, no rear. makes no sense if the bumper is lower than your sideskirts.

I assume you were talking about my car. If so, you saw the car with a front bumper only. I decided I didn't like how the front bumper was so low and the stock sides were so high. i didn't want to change the lines of the Z too much so I came up with the idea of molding in some factory front mud guards sorta as a transition piece. I feel this allows a smooth body line all the way to the rear bumper. Maybe this will work for you. The mud guards are not molded in yet, however, since I am still waiting for the car to go into the paint shop for a full respray, hence why the front bumper and mud guards dont match the rest of the car...i painted them myself with spray paint for the time being.

I wasn't talking about your car, but yes same thing. I was talking about Gus, or Westpak at sfzcc.com He has the V2 front stock sides stock rear, and yes he put the front mud guards on his car, it looks very clean. your car looks good too.

Stock sides and stock rear with V2 is clean and OEM looking. Best look with a drop ofcourse

If anything I would say V2, Veilside sides(two seperate pieces) or TK sides and a TS rear diffuser.

I think the Tourenn rear would flow nicely.... otherwise definitely get a stock rear bumper and chuck on some V2 rears.
